Greetings fellow T-keepers,

Name here is Greg. I'm a keeper from long ago and have recently returned to the activity. I began in 1964 as a young kid living just south of Roswell NM at (then) Walker AFB. The indigenous Ts would come into our backyard on their own, which made it free and easy for me. Of course, back in those days, there was little in the way of info compared to what exists today. In 1980, I recieved a Mexican Red Knee from my brother for Xmas (we do get along just fine). It was wrapped up in an old style gold fish bowl and was labelled......."Open me first and carefully". As I am a Nuclear Engineer by profession, I named him "Nuke" .....as he would "nuke" just about anything I offered. My girl friend at the time was terrified of it. In her Psych. 1A course, her term project was to do something she normally wouldn't do, and then present a paper on it. Well, after 2 bottles of medium-priced red wine, it was time for Nuke to walk up her arm. She did it alright..... I just wish I had a picture of the look on her face. She got an A+ on her paper..... and a scolding from the professor. Oh well. As a wild caught male, he was only around for about 4 years. With other interests (salt water tropical fish, motorcycles, big game hunting, model railroading, Radio Control aircraft, rocket engines, skiing, etc.), I got too busy and just drifted away. Upon returning, I had no idea that the hobby had expanded as it did in the 1990s. I've recently acquired 4 purchases and a freebie from SwiftInverts. While rooting around on the internet for info prior to purchase, I discovered this site, so here I am. I will list my additions on the other page and will try to get a pic of myself over too. I look forward to sharing experience with other keepers. Well, its time for me to have a shot of coconut rum and watch some re-runs of Outer Limits and Have-Gun-Will-Travel. Its Sunday you know. So adios for now kimasbee's

[Sheazy]

Hi Everyone

My name is Shawn, I am new to both the board and also to arachnids. I just got my first tarantula after years of wanting one. I normally just lurk in the shadows soaking up information, trying to learn all that I can. I have plans to increase both my knowledge and collection drastically.

 

[Mudskipper]

I realized I've never actually introduced myself here. I just found the forums hopped in and started talking at everyone.

My name is Jenny (My birth name anyway. ;p I have a dozen nicknames including Bug, Jinx, The Mighty Gerbil, Niffer and Crutch. Don't ask about the last one. Just don't.) I live in California and work at Disneyland as a pastry/dessert chef. As my signature says I'm a young woman (late twenties) who's into tarantulas which makes me a bit of a rarity. Possibly moreso because I keep some of the hotter species. (I'd like to hear from any other women on this board!) At present I own a T. blondi, H. lividum, P. fasciata, A. versicolor and I'm getting ready to add a P. murinus and L. parahybana. I don't know anyone outside of email contact who's into spiders, sadly. I want to attend the insect event in L.A. next week in hopes of meeting fellow T fanciers but..um..Mickey Mouse won't let me. He's a bitch to work for (I should feed him to my blondi.) ANYWAY

here's a photo of me. I'm in the dark blue shirt putting bunny ears on my friend.

And just for kicks here's a cell drawing that same friend did of me (she's a disney film animator) doing what I do at work. :clap:

Yes, my eyes really are that color. See the proof below. ;P The camera flash did brighten them up - the color difference isn't quite THAT intense in normal lighting, IMO. But still noticeable enough judging from the 'WTF?' reaction I get from strangers when they stand close and look me in the eye.

Due to my short attention span I will now end this po -
